Ambitious Dorset law firm Woodstock Legal Services has further strengthened its family team with the appointment of another experienced family solicitor. 

Family lawyer, Emilie Holland joins Woodstock Legal Services as a Consultant Family Solicitor and joins its highly regarded family law team, having already built an enviable reputation across Hampshire, Wiltshire and the South Coast having previously worked for a number of regional law firms. 

Surrey-born Emilie has over 14 years of experience dealing with family matters arising from separation, including high-net-worth divorce, dissolution of civil partnerships, cohabitation, complex financial settlements, asset protection and children disputes. Emilie also has vast experience dealing with relationship matters, including injunction proceedings, cohabitation agreements, and Pre-Nuptial Agreements. 

Commenting on her appointment, Emilie said: 

“I’m delighted to join the ambitious growth here at Woodstock Legal Services, which has achieved impressive growth over the last few years and is a firm breaking the mould with how they provide legal services"

She continued:

“The family team are not only held in high regard but are a team of passionate and committed lawyers who take so much pride in their work for clients. 

“Working within family law is highly rewarding, supporting people through difficult and emotional times and ultimately trying to find constructive solutions.” 

The Woodstock Legal Services family team already have an excellent reputation across Dorset and the South Coast. Emilie’s appointment takes the Woodstock family law team to three, with family solicitor Amy Langlois joining Woodstock in Bournemouth and, more recently, highly experienced family solicitor Karen Layland joining the firm last month. 

The family team advises on a wide range of matters, including divorce, separation, cohabitation agreements, pre-nuptial agreements, arrangements for children and financial settlement arrangements. 

Carly Jermyn, CEO at Woodstock Legal Services, said: 

“We are delighted to have Emilie join our growing family team. We’ve quickly established a solid reputation in the Dorset region, and I’m pleased that Emilie has joined to help us offer our family law services further afield. Her extensive experience in family law will continue to complement our wealth of legal services to clients. Emilie's appointment showcases our commitment to providing clients with the highest quality legal services, making an already emotional time as manageable as possible.” 

In a year which marks Woodstock’s 10-year anniversary, 2024 continues to see further expansion across the regions as more lawyers leave traditional law firms and turn to the more modern consultancy-based approach to offering quality legal services to clients. 

Woodstock Legal Services has been on an upward trajectory since its inception in Canford Cliffs, Poole, in 2014. The firm now boasts an impressive team of over 45, attracting top legal talent from regions like Dorset, Devon, Hampshire, Yorkshire, London, the Midlands, and Wales. The firm's growth can be attributed to its flexible, consultancy-based approach to legal work and unwavering commitment to client service. 

Emilie continued: 

“The flexibility of the consultancy model offered by Woodstock is increasingly attractive to busy lawyers, particularly to those with young families. It’s a model that allows lawyers to focus on providing clients with the level of service and support they deserve while balancing a professional and personal life.”
